3. ALGORITHMS
• Find the square root of 2 to four decimal
places.

4. ERROR
• Three general types of errors: random error,
systematic error, and gross errors.
• Error Analysis: – Error propagation, numerical
stability, Error estimation, Error cancellation,
Condition numbers.
• Suppose the number 0.1492 is correct to the
four decimal places given. a true value that
lies somewhere in the interval between
0.14915 and 0.14925

5. Precision and Accuracy
• If the centre of the target is the "true value“
• A is neither precise nor accurate
• Target B is precise (reproducible) but not accurate.
• The average of target C's marks give an accurate result but
precision is poor.
• Target D demonstrates both precision and accuracy

6. Random (or indeterminate) errors
• Random (or indeterminate) errors are caused by
uncontrollable fluctuations in variables that affect
experimental results.
• For example, air fluctuations occurring as
students open and close lab doors cause changes
in pressure readings
• The estimated standard deviation (the error
range for a data set) is often reported with
measurements because random errors are
difficult to eliminate.

7. Systematic (or determinate) errors
• Systematic (or determinate) errors are
instrumental, methodological, or personal
mistakes causing "lopsided" data, which is
consistently deviated in one direction from the
true value.
• Examples of systematic errors: an instrumental
error results when a spectrometer drifts away
from calibrated settings;.

8. Gross errors
• Gross errors are caused by experimenter
carelessness or equipment failure.
• These "outliers" are so far above or below the
true value that they are usually discarded
when assessing data

9. Precision of a Set of Measurements
• Data set of repetitive measurements is often
expressed as a single representative number
called the mean or average.
• The mean (x̅) is the sum of individual
measurements (xi) divided by the number of
measurements (N).
8/15/2018 9Analysis Numeric - Lecturer 1 (Bendito Freitas Ribeiro, M.Eng)
10. • Precision (reproducibility) is quantified by
calculating the average deviation (for data sets
with 4 or fewer repetitive measurements) or the
standard deviation (for data sets with 5 or more
measurements).
• Precision is the opposite of uncertainty Widely
scattered data results in a large
• average or standard deviation indicating poor
precision.
• Note: Both calculations contain the deviation
from the mean ( xi – x̅ ), the difference between
the individual experimental value and the mean
value.

11. The average deviation
• The average deviation, x̅ , is used when a data set
contains less than 5 repetitive measurements. A small
average deviation indicates data points clustered
closely around the mean and good precision.
• The absolute value is taken of the deviation from the
mean, |xi - x̅ | , so no information is gained
• about the direction of the error. The relative average
deviation is the average deviation divided
• by the average and then expressed as a percentage:

12. • For data sets with 5 or more measurements,
the estimated standard deviation (s), is used
to express the precision of the measurements.
The number of degrees of freedom (N−1) is
the total number of measurements minus one.

13. • Example: Student A recorded the volume of a gas at 1.0 atm
and 23 °C in experiments 1-4.
• Student B recorded the volume of a gas at 1.0 atm and 23 °C
in experiments 5-8.
Precision of Student A’s Data:
The average deviation for Student A’s data is (±0.068). Therefore, the volume is
reported as 26.18 ±0.068 L.8/15/2018 13

14. • Precision of All Data:
• Estimated Standard Deviation:
The estimated standard deviation for the entire set
of data is (±0.10). Therefore, the volume is
reported as 26.18 ±0.10 L.

15. Accuracy of a Result
• The accuracy of a result can be quantified by calculating the
percent error.
• The percent error can only be found if the true value is known.
Although the percent error is usually written as an absolute
value, it can be expressed a negative or positive sign to
indicate the direction of error from true value.

16. • Assume the true value for the gas volume was
26.04 L
• Then the error in the measurements is 0.54%

17. Error Propagation
• When combining measurements with
standard deviations in mathematical
operations, the answer’s standard deviation is
a combination of the standard deviations of
the initial measurements. In other words, the
error is "propagated".

18. • Error propagation for addition/subtraction
andmultiplication/division.
• To calculate the resultant standard deviation
use the formulas below where A, B, and C
represent experimental measurements and a,
b, and c are the respective standard deviations
for each measurement:
